Showing Hex Characters for Debug

[nbkhwjm]

Im receiving an ASCII string from a TCP Socket, I am getting some characters [LF,CR, FF, SP] that I need to identify in the stream. what I would like to do is to print the entire contents of the TCP REsponse to a qDebug output..

I have looked at QString, QTextStream, QByteArray Ref's but nothing is apparent.

void tcpparser::receiveData()
{
	qDebug() << "DEBUG: Receiving Message";
 
	QString responseLine;
	QString response;
 
	QTextStream in(&tcpSocket);
 
    if( !QAbstractSocket::ConnectedState )
    {
            return;
        }
 
    while( tcpSocket.canReadLine() ){
	responseLine = tcpSocket.readAll();
	response.append(responseLine);
 
        responseLine.toHex(); // Futile attempt to make it hex
	qDebug() << "DEBUG: 0x" << debugResponseLine;  // here is where im trying to get the debug 
 }
}

void tcpparser::receiveData()
{
	qDebug() << "DEBUG: Receiving Message";

	QString responseLine;
	QString response;
	
	QTextStream in(&tcpSocket);

    if( !QAbstractSocket::ConnectedState )
    {
            return;
        }

    while( tcpSocket.canReadLine() ){
	responseLine = tcpSocket.readAll();
	response.append(responseLine);
	
        responseLine.toHex(); // Futile attempt to make it hex
	qDebug() << "DEBUG: 0x" << debugResponseLine;  // here is where im trying to get the debug 
 }
}

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

for example the tcp Socket will hear "THIS IS A MESSAGE" I want this as ASCII HEX so i can debug the parser...

thanks.

I did this to see whats up...

QString debugResponseLine;
	debugResponseLine = responseLine;
	debugResponseLine.toAscii();
	debugResponseLine.replace(0x0a, "[LF]");
	debugResponseLine.replace(0x0d, "[CR]");
	debugResponseLine.replace(0x20, "[SP]");
	debugResponseLine.replace(0x0c, "[FF]");
	qDebug() << "DEBUG: 0x" << debugResponseLine;

QString debugResponseLine;
	debugResponseLine = responseLine;
	debugResponseLine.toAscii();
	debugResponseLine.replace(0x0a, "[LF]");
	debugResponseLine.replace(0x0d, "[CR]");
	debugResponseLine.replace(0x20, "[SP]");
	debugResponseLine.replace(0x0c, "[FF]");
	qDebug() << "DEBUG: 0x" << debugResponseLine;

im sure there is a better way with an array, but this is fine... comments are still welcome.

responseLine.toHex(); // Futile attempt to make it hex

responseLine.toHex(); // Futile attempt to make it hex

Notice that this statement has no effect. QByteArray::toHex() returns a new hex encoded byte array.
